MEILIN’S REBORN (Battle Of The Heart And Throne)

EARTH, BLISS COLLEGE**

Inside a big office, seated a middle aged man putting on glasses and going through some papers.

The knock sounded on the door and he raised his head up.

“Come in,” he said.

The door opened and three familiar guys entered.

“Good morning sir” one of them greeted and the other two followed.

The man only nodded and sat straight.

“I’m Vincent Zhou, the school VC and according to this list, it says you guys are, Angie Luo, Ricky Lee and Elvis…

“Johnson” Elvis cut him off immediately.

Angie and Rick but gave him a look and he pressed his lips together.

Mr Vincent just chuckled and folded his palms together.

“So there’s an empty room in the hostel and since you guys are the last people outside and you’re both three, you can have the empty room” he said.

“Thank you so much sir, what’s the room number?” Angie asked.

“Room 149” the man replied as he gave them the room key.

“Room 149, just like a fly hotel,” Elvis said.

“Hmm what a coincidence” Rick smiled.

“Don’t mind them sir, they are just too overwhelmed to be here, let’s go” Angie chuckled.

“Hmm” Elvis nodded and they all left.

Mr Vincent shook his head and relax, at least he’s done answering questions and given people rooms for today.

He smiled and closed his eyes as he relaxed on his chairs but his eyes opened back when he began hearing noises.

Outside the office, Zachary and the VC assistant(Lance) were found arguing.

Zachary just came late and Lance won’t let him enter, that was the main cause of it.

“Listen man, Mr Vincent had just finished answering all the questions for today, you were told to come 8am sharp but you’re coming around 10am, you are on your own” Lance said angrily.

“I’m warning you, let me in now” Zachary frowned.

“Didn’t you hear what I said, I said I can’t come tomorrow!” Lance snapped.

“And I keep telling you that I can’t come back here tomorrow, f**king let me in” Zachary replied angrily.

He made to enter forcefully but Lance pushed him back.

“If you want things to get ugly then I’ll gladly make it ugly, for the last time go home!!” Lance yelled.

Zachary looked at himself and his eyes almost turned red with anger.

“How dare you” he muttered then moved to Lance and held his collar in anger.

“You wanna see ugly then I’ll show it to you first” he said and raised his fist angrily.

He tried to punch him but the door opened and Mr Vincent came out.

“What is going on here?”

Zachary released him and faced Mr Vincent.

“I need a room,” he replied.

“But you can’t, you came late and…

Mr Vincent pulled out his hands, silently telling Lance to stop talking.

Lance scoffed and closed his mouth.

“But you know you’re late right?” Mr Vincent said gently.

“I didn’t know,” Zachary replied with a straight face.

“What do you mean, didn’t you see our email?” He asked.

“I saw”

“What is your name?”

“Zachary”

“Zachary what?”

“Chen”

“Yeah, we sent everyone an email with the correct time,” Mr Vincent said.

“Ion know,” Zachary shrugged.

Mr Vincent wanted to talk again but Zachary beat him to it.

“I just need my room, I can’t come back tomorrow” he said.

“Fine, come with me” Mr Vincent went in and Zachary followed.

They got in and Mr Vincent sat down.

“Honestly I don’t know what to do to you, you’re very late and we are out of room except…” He trailed off.

“Except what?” Zachary asked.

“Well there are two guys staying together in a hostel and you can join them there but I don’t think they would accept you” Mr Vincent explained.

“What’s the room number?” Zachary asked.

“Room 150, go there at your own risk but if I were you I’d go and come back tomorrow, by then we should have fixed some new rooms” Mr Vincent said.

“I can’t come back tomorrow,” Zachary replied.

“Okay then, here’s your pass and ID card, ” Mr Vincent shrugged.

Zachary collected it and walked out without saying a thank you or anything.

“What an attitude” Mr Vincent smirked.

Zachary got out, he pushed shoulders with Lance and took his traveling bag.

“Didn’t you see me standing here??” Lance yelled but Zachary ignored.

He dragged his luggage and began leaving.

“Brat!” Lance scoffed and crossed his arms angrily.

BOYS HOSTEL**

Angie, Rick and Elvis just got into their hostel.

Everywhere looked okay, it’s just that it was a bit empty.

“Woah this place looks empty and so not like a hotel” Elvis said, once they got in.

“That’s because it’s a hostel and not a hotel, this is where college students live,” Angie replied.

“The place is not that bad though” Rick shrugged.

Angie dragged his luggage to the wardrobe and they both followed him.

“There are three wardrobes here, this would be mine” he picked the first one.

“This would be mine too” Rick picked the second one.

“And I have no choice but to pick this one” Elvis sighed.

Angie chuckled and wrapped his arms around Elvis’ shoulders.

“Just arrange your things inside, look at today’s daily schedule, I took it from the VC office, we will be having English today” he said.

“Wait, are you trying to say that we’ll be going back to school?” Elvis asked.

“Yes that was my we came here” Rick nodded.

“But… I thought it’s to help a girl they called the chosen one for…

“Elvis quit saying dum things, isn’t that girl in school?” Angie snapped.

“Oh” Elvis scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

“Shh, come on, put your luggage in and let’s go, the class is on already” Angie sighed and left.

Rick and Elvis hurriedly dropped their luggage inside their wardrobe then rushed out of the room to meet up with him.

Angie turned back to look at them.

“What?” They asked.

“Are you forgetting something?” He asked, showing them his notebook and pen.

Elvis and Rick’s eyes widened and they immediately rushed back into their room to get their books and pen.

Angie sighed and rubbed his forehead tiredly, these boys are surely gonna kill him before his time.

**

Zachary also got to his own room.

He knocked on the door twice before it opened.

It showed Colton with a surprised and confused look on his face.

“Uhm, are you looking for someone?” Colton asked.

Zachary didn’t reply, he just brought out his pass and showed Colton.

Colton collected it slowly.

He opened it and went through it.

“You’re our new roommate?” He asked.

“That’s what the card says so let me in” Zachary replied.

Colton kept staring unsure of what to do.

“What is happening there?” Jett asked, coming to stand behind Colton.NôvelDrama.Org content.

He stopped and looked at Zachary from head to toes.

His gaze stopped at his handsome face and he began wondering where this guy at his front got this kind of face from.

“Who are you?” He asked jealousy.

Zachary looked at Colton and signaled him to show Jett the pass.

Colton showed it to Jett and Jett collected it in shock and surprise.

“I think you’re mistaking, we don’t need a roommate , didn’t the VC tell you that?” He said.

“He did” Zachary replied and dipped his hands into his pocket then looked at him with his serious and unpredictable face.

“But I don’t care,” he added.

Jett scoffed and threw the card on the floor.

“This is trash, go home and come back tomorrow” he said angrily.

“Or maybe you should go home and never come back” Zachary replied and Colton gasped.

“How dare you talk to me that way!!” Jett raised his hands and tried to hit him but Zachary caught it.

Jett tried removing his hands but couldn’t.

“Let go!!, Do you know who I am?” He said angrily.

“No I don’t and I don’t care” Zachary replied in a straight face.

Colton immediately came to their middle with a smile.

“I think we shouldn’t fight, we are going to be late for English class, Jett why don’t you just let him stay here?” Colton asked.

“No I’m okay with just the both of us” Jett replied.

“Then you can go sleep on the floor because I’m staying here,” Zachary replied.

Boys are already coming out of their room, some are dressed for class while some haven’t even showered.

They began looking at them, their gaze focused on Zachary.

Who’s he?..

A new guy.

He’s handsome.

Wait why is he holding Jett hands.

Do they wanna fight?

Zachary turned to look at them and they immediately minded their business.

The ones that needed to get to class began leaving.

“Let me go, let me go!!” Jett yelled and tried removing his hands from Zachary’s grip but couldn’t.

“You’re hurting me already damn you!!” He yelled.

“Let me in or you’ll lose your hands” Zachary replied, adding more pressure.

“Ahh” Jett winced loudly.

*Incase if you don’t know, I can teleport into the room* Zachary added in his mind.

“Jett your hands are red just let him…

“Never!!” Jett cut Colton off and winced again when Zachary added more pressure.

“Let me in or lose your hand?” He asked in a straight face.

“Fine damn you, get in argh!!” Jett winced.

“Get what, I didn’t hear you?” Zachary said.

“I said you can go in” Jett replied and bit his lips hard to suppress the pain.

“Louder,” Zachary added, squeezing his hands even more.

“Ahhhhhh f**k, get in now damn it, just f**king go in, you can even sleep on my bed, you can use my wardrobe, you can have anything you want but please don’t hurt my arm!!!” Jett pleaded, practically crying.
